Airplane food on Alitalia airlines

Amazing. Can we get Alitalia to fly out of Pittsburgh … To ANYWHERE??

When I fly domestically, I get food from the cardboard boxes of Chef USAir, Continental, and Delta. Mmmmm.

And they have oh so lovely processed food items that cost you around 7$. Oh, and if you want something to drink (wine, for example), that will cost you another forty dollars and be sure to pay 10 dollars when you go to the bathroom, check your bags or change your ticket!! (sorry, I digress).

First off all, when the stewards came by w the cart of drinks, I dug out my wallet out for Up-Charge number 1 of this long flight. "wine, please", I said.

The lady politely pulled out a cup, reached down for her bottle of wine (with and honest-to-Pete cork in it … Go figure) and poured me a good solid glass. I waited for her to ask me for some money … Nothing! No charge. We are not in Kansas any more, Toto.

When the food came, the same weird thing happened w the wine (oh, here's just a big glass full of wine for you) … And I was asked if I'd like fish or chicken. Despite what happened on the movie, Airplane, I opted for fish. It came out with roasted potatoes, delicate green beans, a side of pasta/cheese, a small salad, bread w butter, and fruit for dessert.

You know, just like they serve you on United or southwest … Not.

It was actually good food, and that was the weirdest part. I was sitting on an airplane eating, and the food was really good. Why can't everyone do this? Why do WE have to have the Crappy Meals on airplanes and upcharges on everything??

Okay, rant over. I'm going to try to sleep. Talk to you soon,
Will
